MIT researchers and a company called MicroCHIPS are developing a chip smaller than a square inch in area, which can be preloaded with drugs. It can release drugs into your body in given doses and time intervals, programmed according to "doctor's orders" - while your mind wanders on "more important" things.

When the dosage or intervals need to be changed, the microchips would be able to be adjusted remotely by the doctor, says the report.
